Junior Journalists

Priory Planet Production.

Ms Daya, Prep and Junior teacher and Cross-curricular leader for the Juniors, made an exciting announcement this week when she revealed that the Digital Magazine Club has produced their own digital magazine, ‘Priory Planet’.

Ms Daya reports:

‘This academic year I started a digital magazine club with girls from Lower II and Upper II. It is a lunchtime club where the team writes and edits articles to collate into an online digital magazine. This club promotes high-quality writing for a real purpose in a range of genres, appealing to a target audience. It has also given the girls an opportunity to engage in ‘live’ real-time editing of their work as well as formatting and adding pictures.

    

The group of girls who attended the digital magazine club in the Michaelmas Term chose the environment and the future of our planet as the theme for their publication, naming it ‘Priory Planet’ and included articles on issues that concern them including: climate change, endangered species and plastic pollution.  The Lent Term team are a new group of girls and work is underway on the second issue of the magazine which will be on a different theme chosen by the group.

The Michaelmas group’s magazine is now published and available via this link:   https://madmagz.com/magazine/1685402

‘Priory Planet’ is well worth reading, visit the site and enjoy!

Strengthening Our Community: The Return of Boys to our Preps and Pre-Preps

We are excited to share that, from September 2026, boys will begin moving up from our Nursery into Reception, marking the gradual reintroduction of boys into our Prep and Pre-Prep School.

This step reflects growing interest from families who value our strong holistic ethos and unique grounds and setting and would like their sons and daughters to share their educational journey together.

At St Augustine’s, our strong sense of community, academic excellence, and deep care for each individual child remain at the heart of everything we do. This is a natural evolution of our school rather than a change to who we are, building on our strengths and allowing us to offer the same joyful, inspiring education to even more children.
